Tuufu , SluSiC Ehoe'
The other afternoon, in a convict camp III

gang of fifty penitentiary convicts who have
heen at work on the railroad to Newport,
planned an escape Toward evening, while
Dvers,er Marshal was experimenting some
work, the white convict sneaked up BEHIND
him and struck him with shovel. Marshall
fell mortally wounded.
The guard heard the tumult and rushed 10
the scene with his gun at full cock, and was
about to fire at the murderer, when the two
negro conspiratols interposed themselves be,
tween the guard and the fugitive. The, guard
ordered them out of the way, but they re,
fused to move, and picking up rocks advanced
upon him, when the guard fired.
Both negroes and the fleeing white convict
dropped in their tracks from single charge
of buckshot-one negro dead, shot through
the head, and the other dangerously wounded;
while the assaiIant of the overseer was pierced
through the lungs by two buckshot and NOR

The Patient Waiting Necessary TO
Secure Audience at the Vatican.
From, the Neso Yor; Epoch.
To obtain an audience with the Pope re-
quires much influence and patient waiting.
Provided with letter of introduction to
Monsignor Machi the grand chamberlain,
the applicant presents himself at the stately
entrance of the Vatican at three in the
afternoon. Here he is met by one of the
Swiss Guard, composed only of young gen
tlemen of distinguished families. No other
military are seen at the Vatican. Upon
presenting the letter of introduction the
visitor is politely requested to ascend two
steep flights of stairs, which lead to an ante
room, where are dozen or more visitors
from as many parts of the world.
After waiting perhaps an hour or more,
your turn comes and you are allowed to
enter the presence of the secretary of the
Grand Chamberlain, to whom you offer
your letter of introduction. He receives it
smilingly, says few polite words, enters
your name and address in a large book,
after which you are expected to retire and
allow the next applicant to enter. Should
your application be successful, within few
weeks you will be notified of the day and
hour when you will be admitted to an audi
ence When presented to the Pope, etiquette
requires that gentlemen should appear in
full evening dress, without gloves: ladies
must wear black silk.

The community has never recovered from
the snort Of the impostor until death; the
faithful" believed in him, and no doubt
to-day many of their descendants cherish
a secret hope that the professions of Dylks
may not have been in vain. Davis. who
had gone with Dylks, did not come back for
seven years. He returned in good clothes
and preached a sermon, saving therein that
he had seen DyllSs ascend to heaven for a
short visit, and that he was to return.
Davis was never seen again, nor was Dylks.
The apostles lived in the faith and died but
few years ago. The Leatherwood temple
was ever after the scene of religious discord,
and you will find old men and women yet,
here and scattered over the country, who
believe that Dylks was either God or closely
connected with his kingdom. As an i'm

mon saint, but he had no methods of success

THE ROMANTIC YOUNG MAN.

The forest where wood thrusheS trill
The sunny long summer days through,
The banks of the murmuring rill
That CLEANS with clear opals OF dew,
The blossoms Of white and OF blue,
The thickets once haunted by Pan,
He dotes on with tenderness true
He's such romantic young man.
No laugh Of the scorner can chill
His love for the somber Of hue;
The cells of his brain will he fill
With rhymes about ages they knew
The warriors who jousted and slew
Their foes in the field as they ran,
And quote them to Sallie and Sue,
He's such romantic young man.
Ger many far foreign hill
He's roamed like the Wandering Jew,"
And those who have envied his skill
In singing have been not few;
The pictures he has upon view
Are for the aesthetic to scan;
He can waltz like a dream, he can WOO,
He such romantic young man.

Maids, be this q warning to you!

To marry a million Or two,
